Pinging Noise

Hey guys i got a question im getting a pinging noise coming from the motor when accelerating on the road so i keep retarding the timing thinking that should fix it but now its completely retarded and still pinging and when its hot at idle you can here a tap from the left side of the motor as your looking from the front of the vehicle im wondering if it's possibly a lifter thats bad and am also wondering how easy it is to change out lifters since ive never had to do it before

Could be a lifter or a sticky vavle etc. Get some sea foam from autozone and pour it down the carb. It will clean the top of the vavles real nice. It stopped the pinging in my 400.
